All the original cables i saw in the 70's had a black lining on the inner cable and should have had a white inner coating on the outer but you only saw that if the outer was damaged.
I also know for a fact that the taiwanese manufacturers at the time would package anything in the way the buyer asked, i bought many Yamaha FS1E cylinders in packaging identical to original.
Honda cables normaly had the part number in white on the outer sleeve.
I doubt that Honda will do anything as you do not know where it originally came from, that dealer is gone so cannot provide purchase details and finaly time in stock

Looking at that i suspect the caliper is as bad so i would use a greas gun to pump the caliper piston out then thouroughly clean, reseal and new stainless piston.
Grease gun method

Standard grease gun remove the fitting that clips on the grease nipple.
Leave bleed nipple in
Remove the steel brake pipe from caliper and caliper brom bike
GENTLY screw the caliper pipe thread onto the grease gun N.B.  it will only go on a few threads as they are different BO NOT FORCE IT.
Pump away and watch the piston for movement.

This has never failed me but does leave the piston full of grease to clean out!

I dont believe Honda would design it so you had tofit to lower case and get opperating mech out of way to mate cases but i suppose anything is possible, none of the other hondas i have worked on 50cc tp 1500cc have done that

Cant watch videos so here is my 2 penorth
Points gap at 14 thou and timing spot on the F, it takes a lot of time, patience and practice to get BOTH spot on.
Sounds like the carbs need syncing, there is arie up of mine on here somewhere
Possibly tight, or loose tappet clearance.

You say you have cleaned the carbs, have you split them and had them ultrasonicaly cleaned?
